Solid Core, Not Hollow
A 44mm solid laminated timber core, not a hollow shell filled with foam. It shuts with a thud, not a rattle.
44mm solid core



Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new composite doors across Irvine, KA11 and KA12, with a free measure at the house before a thing is ordered. Irvine is really two towns in one. There is the old burgh, the Bridgegate and the Harbourside, with sandstone frontages and doorways that were never a standard size, and there are the estates laid out after Irvine was made a new town, at Bourtreehill, Girdle Toll, Pennyburn and Perceton, where thousands of houses still carry the front door they were built with. Both get the same answer: a door made to the opening, with a solid core around 44mm thick under a moulded skin that the Ayrshire weather cannot strip. Vetted installers fit it in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Irvine sits on the Firth of Clyde with very little between it and the weather, and a front door here takes wind, rain and salt all year. Timber swells, paint lifts, hollow panels rattle. A composite door is built to sit through all of it. Here is the make-up of one.

Same-day installI was really pleased with the professionalism of the firm who replaced four windows with a triple glazed upgrade. The job was completed in one day. The workmen were very good and the quality was excellent.
Brilliant communication, work done to a high standard and good prices. Would definitely use this company again.
Ultimate Home Solutions were very quick in responding to my online enquiry. We had a visit arranged within 2 days. Sales person Kirsty was very knowledgeable and she guided us without being pushy or influenced our decision. Due to having no bathroom they put us down for express fit. Bathroom installed within 2 weeks which was fantastic. Every member of staff from the start to the installers were very friendly...

The online designer is for our Palladio range, the premium end of what we fit. It does not cover the other door ranges on this page. Choose a style, try it in every colour, compare the glass patterns and set the handle, the letterplate and the knocker.
Opens the Palladio door designer in a new tab. Free to use, nothing to download, and no obligation.
A surveyor comes out free of charge, measures the opening and the sill, and brings colour, glass and hardware samples so you can choose at your own front door.
A free, no-obligation quote follows, showing the door style, colour, glass and locks you chose. Take as long as you like over it.
Most composite doors go in within a single working day. The old door and frame are removed, the new set is fitted, sealed and locked, and the waste leaves with the installers.
You are shown the locks, then given the keys, the installation certificate and care notes, and we check in with you a few weeks later. All workmanship is guaranteed.

Call 0800 029 3875Nearly all of them land between £950 and £2,200 fitted, with the old door removed, taken away and the certification included. The colour, the glass, the hardware and any side panels account for the difference. The measure is free of charge and the quote has no obligation on it. Various deposit options are available.
They vary a lot, which is exactly why nothing is bought ready-made. The estates at Bourtreehill, Girdle Toll and Pennyburn were built quickly to several different designs, and the openings differ from street to street. Every frame is made from the measurements the surveyor takes at your house, so it fits properly instead of being packed out.
Yes, and those are some of the more satisfying jobs. Older Irvine property has deep reveals, tall openings and sometimes a fanlight above, and each one is measured and built as a one-off. If you want something that reads as period, ask to see the Heritage composite designs and the woodgrain finishes.
It is designed for it. Weather seals run all the way round the frame, and the multi-point lock pulls the door onto those seals from top to bottom rather than just at the handle. The door's own weight keeps it steady in a gust. Where a doorway is particularly exposed, the threshold is specified to match.
It nearly always is. The insulated core has real substance to it, unlike a hollow panel, and a composite door is six times more insulating than timber. Between the core and a proper seal round the frame, the draught that runs along the floor of most halls in winter simply stops.
Every door is tested to PAS 24, the British forced-entry standard. The locking is multi-point with hooks and bolts that bite into the frame, the cylinder is a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap type, and any glazing in the door or side panels is laminated, so it holds together rather than breaking out.
The palette runs beyond 200 colour and glass pairings. Anthracite grey, black, cream, chartwell green and duck egg blue move fastest, woodgrain gives the timber look, and the inside face can be finished differently from the outside. Handles, knockers and letterplates are offered in chrome, gold, matt black and antique.
The installers come in the morning, lift out the old door and frame, set the new frame and seal it, hang the door, fit the glazing and the hardware, then take you through the locking. The old door leaves in the van with them. One working day sees the whole thing done.
All of them, along with Stevenston, Crosshouse, Gateside, Torranyard and Dundonald. KA11 and KA12 are covered end to end and there is no call-out fee anywhere in the area.
Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).
Our Kilmarnock showroom at Block 5, Unit 1, Glencairn Industrial Estate, KA1 4AZ is the closest, open 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday, with parking outside and Sundays by appointment. The door displays are at the Braehead showroom in Glasgow, inside Dobbies at Renfrew. Either way the surveyor brings the colour and glass samples to your house.
A surveyor can call at any Irvine address on a day that suits you, and the Kilmarnock showroom is a short run inland if you would rather start there. Measuring is free and no travel charge applies to anywhere listed here.
